TRUMAN SLEEPS – Philip Glass – Full Tutorial with TAB – Fingerstyle Guitar

Posted on by

This is an arrangement of the piece, Truman Sleeps, composed by Philip Glass that can be found in the movie, The Truman Show, starring Jim Carrey. I loved the movie and I have always loved this particular piece of music in the movie. Originally, it was composed for the piano.

For a long time I didn’t try arranging this piece because I figured it wouldn’t work. I tried it out in E minor a couple nights ago and was surprised that it worked! Philip Glass is one of my favorite composers and so it is nice to be able to play his music on the guitar.

ADAGIO IN G MINOR (Opening Theme) – Albinoni – Easy -Full Tutorial with Tab – Fingerstyle Guitar

Posted on by

Adagio in G Minor is a beautiful piece of music. The version I always heard (and liked a lot!) was for strings and organ. I remember listening to it on repeat back in college. There is some confusion on who actually composed this piece. It is attributed to the 18th-century composer, Tomaso Albinoni but some think that the musicologist, Remo Giazotto actually composed it.

This arrangement comes from my second volume of easy arrangements. I just arranged the opening theme and tried to keep this arrangement as easy as possible.
